I thank the Chairman. Some concerns have been raised by Nursing Homes Ireland about the time period of 14 days. For argument's sake, if a notice was issued on 20 January, would the officials not accept that is far too short a period for people to respond in? I have seen this happen before with regulation where notices were issued during holiday time. People are looking for time to get all their responses in place and take action. What are the views of the officials on that?
